Accord Pond is a 100-acre (0.40 km2) reservoir in Hingham, Norwell and Rockland, Massachusetts. The reservoir is located off Route 228 at its terminus with Route 3. The reservoir is visible from Route 3 northbound at Exit 14, the Route 228 off-ramp. The reservoir is a Class A source of water supply for the town of Hingham and Hull Ma. The outflow of the reservoir is Accord Brook, a tributary of the Weir River.
The pond is named for an accord (treaty) made in early colonial times between local Indians and English settlers.[citation needed]
Accord, a village in Hingham on the Hingham/Norwell town line, lies on the northeastern shore of the reservoir along Route 53.
Being a public water supply, swimming boating and fishing are not allowed,[2] although there was a public swimming beach in the 20th century.[citation needed]
